Yuchang and I worked together for 6 years, from the early days of our R&D lab’s existence. While he is an architect and designer by training, I watched him step outside that role to build the engineering capability of our team. As leader of the prototyping team, he scaled their capability to the point where their software stack became the foundation for all of our design and testing work, supporting years of shipping Smart TV products. Whether it was tuning the touchpad on the remote control or building the stage demo for the CES Keynote, it seemed there wasn’t a challenge his team couldn’t rise to. He truly understands the unique role that design/experience prototyping fills in between wireframes and full-fledged shipping software; he is equally adept at speed hacking something together just under the finish line for a one time demo, and scaling a prototyping tool that dozens of engineers use for years after.
